~The Noord-Holland citizens suffered from the invasion in 1799. The campaign led to plunder and pillage and destruction of local infrastructure. Our French allies played a major part in it. As I want to include civilians in our games I am looking for suitable figures. "Tableaux d'habillement, des moeurs et des coutumes dans la République Batave" offers a nice contemporary guideline for local Batavian dress. With the right paint job, the 'Carlist civilians' by Perry Miniatures offer good opportunities.

A blog about our latest wargames project: the Anglo-Russian invasion of the Batavian Republic (The Netherlands) in 1799. The invasion failed and the invaders were pushed back into the sea after an autumn of hard fighting.
